' (German for ''The Dead City'') is an opera in three acts by Erich Wolfgang Korngold to a libretto by Paul Schott, a collective pseudonym for the composer and his father, Julius Korngold; it is based on the 1892 novel ''Bruges-la-Morte'' by Georges Rodenbach. ==Origins== Rodenbach's novel ' had already been adapted by the author into a play. The play was translated into German by Siegfried Trebitsch under the title ' (The Silent City), which he later changed to ' (The Mirage). Trebitsch was a friend of Korngold's father Julius. The two met in the street one day and got into a conversation about a possible operatic adaptation. Trebitsch later met Erich, who was enthusiastic about the project. Trebitsch recalled "() met the young master Erich Wolfgang Korngold in search of a scenario or, even better, a mood or operatic background that could be dramatically elaborated. I urged him to take up '."〔Carroll, Brendan G.; Pauly, Reinhard G., ''The Last Prodigy: A Biography of Erich Wolfgang Korngold'', Amadeus Press, Portland, 1997, pp. 121–3.〕 Julius commented on the way the project evolved: Father and son decided to adapt the play themselves, and co-wrote the libretto, using the pseudonym Paul Schott. Julius decided to change the plot so that the murder occurs in a dream, rather than in actuality, as in the original. Korngold started the composition in 1916. He left it for a year to take up military service before resuming and completing the score.〔
